Philj - 2013-05-09 12:55 PM Thank you all! Just need to get them over here now in time for our renowned British summer

Summer? What's that word, I've never heard of it before. :P I am so tempted to visit, but we're two weeks away from applying. Your success gives me hope (similar situation - wife, stepdaughter and having to "prove" sole responsibility).

I noticed return flights are much cheaper than singles (about 20,000 for both vs 77,000 for both). :-O

Sleazyjet prices seem to be cheap when you start out but by the time you finish paying for all the extras they are just a expensive as a standard normal airline.

With regards to return tickets, they are normally cheaper than the one way ticket but there is nothing that says that you have to use the return leg of he ticket so basically if you want to fly one way then buy a return ticket and just discard the return leg.

Quiet agree..

Very recently, my step-daughter who lives in the UK, looked to use them, but after costing it all up, flight, extras, onward flight etc etc, Aeroflot came out much cheaper at about 15,000rubies all in...

That is very cheap. I was a bit wrong earlier, even the return (KLM) will be £621 (but still more than half the price of a single). I thought about going via Gatwick, but it becomes too complicated/not possible. Newcastle Airport is not as well-serviced as it used to be, sadly. So, we'll keep things simple and book via KLM.
